Melodika expands its Sky Blue range with a new power cable, the SBP, designed for users who value clean, stable power delivery in audio and video systems. As the company explains, high-quality power supply is often a crucial yet underestimated element influencing the final sound performance. The SBP has therefore been engineered as a solid, technically sound solution for demanding hi-fi enthusiasts seeking to minimise electrical interference and ensure long-term reliability.

Melodika is a Polish manufacturer of cables and hi-fi loudspeakers, established in 2010. The company follows a pragmatic, no-nonsense design philosophy focused on real engineering and audible results rather than marketing gimmicks. Its product portfolio includes speaker, signal and power cables, as well as installation wiring and accessories, all developed and assembled in Poland. Melodika's mission is to deliver high-quality sound at reasonable prices - a goal consistently recognised by numerous awards and positive reviews from both Polish and international audio experts.

At its core, the SBP uses three 2.5 mm² conductors made from high-purity, oxygen-free copper (OFC) of 4N grade (99.99 % purity). This material guarantees excellent conductivity, low resistance (around 7.75 Ω/km) and minimal oxidation over time. The cable features a double-shielded design - an 85 % coverage OFC braid combined with a Mylar foil - effectively suppressing electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference from neighbouring devices or cables. This makes the SBP suitable not only for advanced home hi-fi systems but also for professional or industrial environments where power stability and noise suppression are critical.

To ensure durability and safety, the SBP incorporates a triple-layer insulation system. Its inner dielectric layers provide a high insulation resistance of over 200 MΩ/km, while the outer jacket, made of modified PVC, offers enhanced mechanical, thermal and chemical protection. Such construction allows for flexible use, including in-wall installations and demanding operating conditions. New, gold-plated connectors further improve contact stability and corrosion resistance, ensuring a secure connection and long-term performance. The cable has successfully passed a 4000 V voltage test, confirming its robust insulation and high safety margin.

Melodika offers the SBP in eight lengths ranging from 0.5 m to 5 m, priced between €132 and €239. Each version comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. Thanks to its solid construction, wide compatibility and noise-reducing properties, the SBP can be used not only in audio and home cinema systems but also in measurement, laboratory or medical equipment where clean and stable power is essential.

The latest cable from the Polish brand Melodika is now available for sale. The high-quality USB cable enables a secure and reliable connection between two devices equipped with USB A and USB C sockets. By replacing the factory-supplied cable of your audio equipment, such as a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with the Melodika MDUAC cable, you can easily and quickly improve the quality of the transmitted signal. Correct impedance results in low jitter, eliminates timing faults, and distortions in digital signal that might otherwise have occurred.

Melodika is a Polish brand that has advocated a no-nonsense approach to audio equipment since its inception. The core of its offerings are cables and accessories, and the priority has always been the same - to give music lovers good sound for as little money as possible. When it comes to cabling, I've always associated Melodica with the budget-priced but extremely elaborate Purple Rain series. Signal, speaker, digital, and power cables, as well as splitters, adapters, or plugs - everything is here. I also like the concise descriptions focused on technical issues and parameters. Construction, conductors, cross sections, shielding, resistance, and other facts, rather than reports of sound written in verse and tales of geometry inspired by the concept of yin and yang. Wanting to go a bit further, the company introduced the Brown Sugar series. It currently contains seventeen items, all of which are speaker cables and jumpers. This is quite remarkable, as the idea wasn't born yesterday, and still, we haven't seen a single signal, digital, or power cable in this series. Instead, Melodika decided to show us - yes, you guessed it - another speaker cable. But what a cable it is!

Following the ongoing popularity of the Brown Sugar series, the Polish manufacturer, Melodika, decided to expand the offer with a flagship speaker cable. Melodika Brown Sugar BSSC95xx is the result of Polish technical thought and the culmination of 7 years of research, testing, and observation undertaken by Melodika specialists. The Hi-End speaker cable from the Brown Sugar series is based on the BSC2950 cable, which is the top model in this series and represents an impressive 9.5mm² cross-section. Since audiophile-grade Melodika Brown Sugar BSSC95xx uses high-quality materials and technical solutions, it is able to extract the maximum from your audio system potential and deliver an audio signal without compromising its purity and balance.
